Polling places, other changes coming in county voting

By Lois Mittino Gray Next year, Posey County will have ten “voting centers,” instead of the usual 22 voting precincts. Not only will this change save money in the county coffers, since less poll workers will be needed, it will be convenient for county voters who can cast their ballot at any one of the centers.

Scott Moye, the Democrat representative on the Posey County Election Board, presented this new scenario to the Posey County Council at its July 9, morning meeting at the Hovey House.

The three-person election board, consisting of

Moye, County Clerk Kay Kilgore, and Republican representative David Whitten, approved the change which is becoming popular all around the state. “We wanted to tell you the direction we’re heading in. This is for information only,” Moye reported to council members.

All ten locations have not been determined as yet. Moye said the two designated for Mount Vernon are the Mount Vernon Baptist Church and the Mount Vernon Community Church (formerly Black’s Chapel) on the west side of town. Both were selected for their adequate parking lots and large building size.

County Council President Heather Allyn said she liked the idea that a resident who lives in the northern part of the county, but works in the southern part, can just vote there on a lunch hour. “When I worked the polls, I observed the frustration of people who came in and were told they were in the wrong precinct. This is a good, positive change.”

The voting centers will get all new equipment by 2022. “Right now, there is not a certified vendor as yet to sell new voting equipment in this state. One new piece of equipment voters will notice by the next election is an E-poll

book that will scan a person’s license to check them in and record their signature. It’s much like a credit card machine used in stores now.

It’s all tied in to the election office on election day,” Moye explained. “The voting machines will be totally separate though and leave a paper trail.”

Audience member Wayne Nall inquired if a study has been done on voter participation comparing precincts with these new vote centers.

Moye said he was not aware of any done on that

By Dave Pearce A meeting of the Board of Education of the MSD of North Posey County, Poseyville, Ind., was held in the Board office of MSD of North Posey County on July 8, 2019.

Patron Comments were made by Logan Newton, Sarah Newton, Scott Fisher, Linda Reising, and Dennis Kiesel. All addressed the board with concerns of the board accepting any donation from E.ON, the wind energy company looking into expanding into Posey County, prior to the county approving the wind farm projects.

Board president Geoff Gentil indicated that there is currently no board policy in place regarding accepting donations on behalf of the school corporation. Board members Greg Schmitt and Amy Will have been asked to look into creating such a policy to be reviewed by the board. Upon the announcement that there is currently no policy in place, board member Vince Oakley made a motion to table accepting any donations from E.ON until the policy may be created and reviewed. The motion died to lack of a second.

For the first time in many years, a new Food Service Director will be at the helm for meals in the district this year. North Posey Assistant

School Supt. Dr. Angela Wannemuehler asked the Board to approve her request to hire Stacy Newman-Smith as the Food Service Director.

The revised job description shall be made part of the minutes by incorporation. Wannemuehler also made a recommendation to Shelton with Aramark to hire Adina Weddle as the Executive Director of Food Services.

Wannemuehler also asked the Board to award Aramark the contract as the district’s Food Service Management Company (FSMC).

The contract indicates that Aramark shall be responsible for the operation of the food service program for the 2019-2020 school year. The dates of the contract shall run July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. Juli Shelton, Aramark District Manager, was present to answer any questions the Board may have.

Wannemuehler also asked the board to approve an updated pay scale for the Food Service Director on the Corporation Level NonCert Employees salary schedule.

In other action: • The board approved the resignation of Amy Moore in her position as digital literacy teacher and eLearning coach effective June 30, 2019.

Nix Companies Acquires Heritage Custom Fabricators Special to the News Nix Companies Inc., recently announced that it has acquired the assets of Heritage Custom Fabricators, Inc., a Princeton, Ind., based company with more than 80 years of service providing heavy machining, gear manufacturing and fabrication services. Heritage is now an independent division of Nix Companies

and will continue to serve its growing customer base from its Princeton facility.

Heritage Custom Fabricators, founded in 1936 as Woods Welding & Machine by Wylie Woods, focused on agricultural repairs. In 1981, Russ Butts purchased the business and renamed it Heritage Custom Fabricators. His son, Clint Butts, ran

the company for several years until it was acquired in 2016 by Sam Przymus. Today the Heritage team operates out of a 50,000 square foot facility specializing in heavy contract machining, gear manufacturing, gearbox rebuilds, welding, and fabrication.

Sam Przymus offered the following statement regarding the acquisi-

tion: “After my time at Heritage, I recognized that with Nix at the helm the value for both organizations would benefit together much more than apart. I am looking forward to the future with a great leadership team at the controls of this ship.”

Nix Companies is a group of small businesses combined to form a diversified metal solutions provider

offering industrial products, manufacturing, and maintenance contracting. Nix was founded in Poseyville, Ind., in 1902 as a blacksmith shop by Charles Nix, the great-great-grandfather of the current fifth-generation principal owners, Matthew and Adam Nix. Nix has recently been

Local talent shines in music school

Eighteen-year-olds Lexton Bierman of Mount Vernon (left) and Johnathon Webber of New Harmony gave an outdoor guitar concert on Main Street in New Harmony Thursday afternoon. Seated alongside them is their guitar instructor, Yann Falquet of Quebec, Canada, who taught at this year’s New Harmony School of Music which both teens attended.

By Lois Mittino Gray Two young local musicians were featured in a guitar concert as part of this past week’s New Harmony School of Music events. Lexton Bierman of Mount Vernon and Johnathon Webber of New Harmony, both 18-years-old, performed at Rosebud Antiques at 609 Main Street on Thursday afternoon under clear skies in a well-attended sidewalk concert.

Both boys are students attending the week-long New Harmony School of Music. This is Johnathon’s first year of instruction, while Lexton is participating as a thirdtimer. They were accompanied during the concert by their school guitar instructor, Yann Falquet of Quebec, Canada.

Each of the boys played four of their favorite tunes and one together as audience members on golf carts, lawn chairs, benches, or just standing in the doorway tapped toes in time to the music. Webber, who said he was performing solo for the first time in public, besides jam sessions at Sara’s Harmony Way, was thrilled with the posi-

tive response. He said his favorite song he played that day was “Folsom Prison Blues.”

Webber, a recent North Posey High School graduate, has been playing guitar since third grade. He plans to continue his studies at Ivy Tech in Paramedic Sciences and is an active member of the New Harmony Volunteer Fire Department.

Bierman, who will be a senior next year at Mount Vernon High School, started playing guitar when he was ten years old. After graduation, he would like to pursue a career in music and “try to make it.” He’s thinking of going down to Nashville as he gets a bit older. “After all, at this age, I can’t play in the places I need to yet,” he said, with a grin.

Bierman performed right across the street in New Harmony just last month at the Antique Show with a group that includes his grandfather Dewey Alexander. “He is

Phenomenal Pies Squared Posey Extension Homemakers continue tradition of home-made 4-H fair pies

By Pam Robinson For years, the Posey County Extension Homemakers have provided one of the main attractions at the Posey County 4-H Fair. Their madefrom- scratch homecooked meals have always drawn a crowd to support good causes in the community.

The Extension Homemakers don’t, however, prepare and serve fair meals only. A recent conversation with the Busy Homemakers club reveals how attention to facts, fun, and fellowship create a learning environment to elevate the home.

As Extension Homemaker Wilma Jacobs explains, her Busy Homemakers club was organized 83 years ago by her mother, Margaret Schmitzer, in 1936. It is the oldest Extension Homemakers club in Posey County.

Small but mighty, the Busy HomePictured, left to right, are Glenda Higgins, Marilyn Schmitzer, Wilma makers club does much more than Jacobs, Phyllis Johnson, and Gloanna Hodges of The Busy Homemakers make and bake all the pies—nearly Club. Photo submitted

The Golden Years 100—for the Posey County 4-H Fair meals. A variety of activities engage its five members—Glenda Higgins, Gloanna Hodges, Phyllis Johnson, Marilyn Schmitzer as well as Wilma Jacobs, the matriarch of the club at age 90. They join in additional fair responsibilities, share in continuing bimonthly education for their club, and support the Posey County baby goods shop, Precious Poseys, with donations and volunteering. All five women have held offices in the Busy Homemakers Club and on the Posey County Extension Homemakers Council.

Like the Busy Homemakers, extension homemakers countywide have seen a decline in participation.

Posey County Extension Homemak-

ers Council President Beth Russell confirms the decline was brought about with the advent of the twoincome family and with the increase in organizations offering community involvement. For decades, Extension Homemakers and church had served, Russell explains, as the two places for community interaction.

As Wilma Jacobs relates in her “Brief History of Posey County Homemakers,” in the past (circa 1950s-1960s) over 32 Extension Homemakers clubs with a total of more than 500 members were active in Posey County. Today, seven clubs meet with a total of 69 members.

Ironically, Extension Homemakers offers more than ever before with the advent of the Internet. As Russell relates, in the past, club members received instruction primarily once a

It’s All About the Learning – and the Fun

B B R

I enjoy sewing and making my own clothing.

Finding the time to do so, however, is sometimes a bit more challenging. This time of the year, however, I usually push myself a bit to be creative. That time of year is, of course, fair time.

Open Class exhibits are a fun part of the fair for me, as I love to see the examples of the talents and ideas of others in our community.

Young, old, male, female, it doesn’t matter there is something for everyone to look at and enjoy, and some great ideas for a new project.

Granddaughter Natalie and I hope to inspire others with our sewing designs.

Natalie chose to make some pajamas for her project this year. She and her mom selected a pattern and some cute, pink-patterned annel fabric. They took the goodies home, found the proper pattern pieces, laid said pattern pieces on the fabric, and cut the fabric. Now the fun part.

The chosen pattern had a simple pair of pants and a top that was, ahem, a bit more diďŹƒcult to put together. The instructions were somewhat confusing and one of the pieces of cut fabric appeared to not properly ďŹ t to another piece of fabric. A trip from Natalie’s house to Nana’s ensued. We all thought we had things ďŹ gured out, until we found that we hadn’t. OK. Plan B. Natalie spent several hours with me as we ďŹ nally worked through the problem. This problem-solving endeavor was not without pain (and not just the pain of pins sticking ďŹ ngers as we pinned the various fabric pieces together on the

journey to the completed PJs). Natalie removed - more than once - the stitches she had carefully sewn to join the various parts of the pajama top.

Natalie sewed together - more than once - the parts of the pajama top that had earlier been sewn together and subsequently ripped apart.

Natalie - more than once - cheerfully worked on the pajamas and re-worked her project to its completion. Never once, though, did she even consider giving up. She read the pattern instructions, and listened to Nana’s suggestions, and decided that she would have pajamas she loved, in spite of - or maybe because of - the problems encountered on the road to completion.

Finally - ďŹ nally - she and I deemed the pajama top done. Is it perfect? In her eyes - absolutely. Natalie learned so much as her new clothes moved from a at piece of fabric to something she made, that she can wear, that she can share with her younger sisters (because, hand-me-downs, right?). Something that she is so proud of - and it’s super cute, too. And I am so very proud of her. She exhibited much more patience through this entire experience than her much-older and more experienced mother and grandmother. You go, girl. At the end of the day, it’s all about what Natalie thinks about her PJs. During this experience, I shared with Natalie that even those of us with more experience make mistakes and have to rip out carefully placed stitched. As if to reiterate that fact, the top I made caused a couple of moments of angst for me.

The pattern I chose was fairly simple, with straightforward seams and short sleeves. The fabric I selected has lace edges, so, luckily, I didn’t have to hem the bottom of the shirt or the

sleeves. The neckline used a certain type of binding to ďŹ nish it. I carefully sewed the bias tape to the neckline, then carefully snipped the curves, then carefully edge-stitched the tape to ďŹ nish the top. (Don’t worry if you don’t understand the terms - you’ll soon understand why‌) Lookin’ good, Beth. Woo hoo - you’re almost done. All that you need now is to add the button. Wait what’s wrong with that‌sigh. My carefully sewn on neck edging was - get ready - sewn on the outside of the top, rather than inside, where it belonged. See, Natalie, even Nana royally messed this up. So I, too, removed stitches. I, too, carefully re-pinned the seam (making sure it was, this time, on the proper side of my shirt.).

I, too, re-stitched the neckline of the top. I, too, was done with this item. Unlike Natalie, though, I wasn’t as patient or cheerful while completing the top. Kudos, Natalie, for staying so upbeat through all the trials of this sewing experience,

and being such a good example to me.

Natalie and I had several conversations during the course of our sewing events this week about our items and how we were mostly just making them because, in her case, she needed new PJs, and in my case, I found some fabric I really liked and wanted to turn into a new top for me. Although we knew we would be exhibiting them at the fair, it’s truly not about the ribbons and awards. Every person who exhibits something at the fair is putting themselves out for public judgement - but Natalie and I don’t care. For us, it’s about doing something we like.

We know that we’re probably not going to get the purple ribbon, and that’s OK. Would it be fun to get purple? Of course. Would we be excited to get purple? Absolutely. But, after the fair, we’ll still have our new clothes, specially handmade by and for us. And for us, that’s all that matters.

Letters to the Editor If we focus only on what we are getting, we might not see what we are giving up I am a concerned citizen of the proposed industrial wind turbine project in Gibson and Posey counties. I have been told

by E.ON, the project developers, that many of my concerns are simply based on fear of change. I do have fear but not of change. I have been promised increased tax revenues and seen charitable donations given, but I am not willing to give up my safety and property rights for an industrial wind project that appears ready to take advantage of our rural community without recourse to the citizens.

A foreign industrial giant, E.ON, is proposing the placement of up to 134 industrial wind turbines in Gibson and Posey counties based on the company’s project summary. At a recent public meeting with E.ON, I also learned that the proposed turbine height limit was raised nearly 100 feet to a maximum tip height of 591 feet. For perspective, the second tallest building in Indiana, One America Tower in Indianapolis, is 533 feet tall. The Saint Louis arch stands at 630 feet. These will be some of the tallest and largest turbines ever placed on U.S. soil. Now that

you have an idea of the height of these rotating giants, picture 134 of them across the landscape of our counties. The scope and nature of this project should not be overlooked by anyone especially if you take into account that 27,000 (currently leased) acres of land across two counties could be locked up for future development for 50 years.

Renewable energy sources, if done responsibly, do have merit; I don’t argue that and I welcome clean energy even at the risk of losing our rural landscape. I do take issue with a large scale, industrial project landing in my backyard whose oversight for safety and property rights is merely the benevolence of a multi-billion-dollar company located thousands of miles away from my home.

I trust the good citizens in Gibson and Posey Counties, who may have leased property for this project, because I have longstanding relationships and respect for many of them. Am I expected to extend that same trust to a for-proďŹ t company that will operate industry on the farmland of my fellow citizens?

Opiate crisis continues to get worse The opiate crisis is continuing to get worse in the United States and is now being considered a “syndemic,â€? after graduating from being an epidemic. A syndemic is when two or three other epidemics start playing o of each other.

Right now, besides the opiate epidemic, we also have the benzodiazepine epidemic and the methamphetamine epidemic as well. What’s happening is that all three epidemics are fueling each other. The opioid crisis has been around for quite some time, as well has the benzodiazepine problem, and the methamphetamine problem has recently reappeared in the last few years.

The opioid epidemic came ďŹ rst and can be said to have spun the other problems alongside it. What we have happening

Would I be naive to believe that my safety and rights are in the forefront of this company’s mind when there is no regulation, oversight or control at the county, state, or federal level, to prevent the proximity of these giant turbines to my property?

It is no surprise, that even despite low wind speeds in our area, Gibson County was sought out for the placement of industrial turbines because my county lacks zoning. For better or worse, this is where we ďŹ nd ourselves. I ask you, the reader, to inform yourself of the issues surrounding safety and property rights with regard to these giant turbines while balancing the thought of a new revenue stream. In the next few weeks, fellow concerned citizens of Gibson and Posey Counties will cover the concerns that many county citizens have with this proposed project that include, Doppler radar interference, audible and inaudible sound issues, shadow icker, blade throw, and property rights. How much are our safety and rights worth?

Nurse Practitioners are Critical for Rural Hoosiers’ Access to Primary Care now is that these three problems have created major increases in new HIV infections, Hepatitis C infections, sexually transmitted diseases, and infectious endocarditis.

I knew that if we didn’t really step up and get a handle on this problem, it was going to get worse, and it has. The opioid epidemic that has claimed thousands upon thousands of lives has now grown into a dierent, scarier monster.

Indiana ranks 32nd among states when it comes to primary care access. Many Indiana counties, particularly rural ones, remain under the Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) designation, meaning thousands of Hoosiers live in an area identiďŹ ed as lacking the adequate number of health care providers for the population.

But nurse practitioners (NPs) are working hard to improve these conditions for patients. Just recently, thousands of NPs from across the country gathered in Indianapolis for the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) national conference. Expanding access to primary care services was among the most frequently discussed topics as was how NPs can help reverse the opioid epidemic.

Unfortunately, patients across the state face needless barriers to primary care because of outdated scope of practice laws preventing NPs from practicing independently in Indiana, and the 2019 legislative

session closed without action on this critical issue. Many of the state’s legislators recognize the importance of expanding access to primary care and its potential positive impact on reducing long-term and more costly issues like high hospital readmission rates or chronic disease management. Currently, 22 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands have passed licensure laws that allow patients full and direct access to the outstanding care oered by nurse practitioners. Indiana is not one of them. These states include eight of the top ten in rankings of health care access and quality.

With two out of three voters supporting legislation that gives them full and direct access to primary care services provided

by NPs, it’s time for patients’ voices to be heard.

Lydia loved to read and visit with friends and family, especially her grandchildren. She looked forward to the Griffin Alumni Banquet each year, and she was an avid, knowledgable fan of Indiana basketball.

Lydia is preceded in death by her parents; three brothers: James, Wink, and H.G. Simmons; and one sister, Claudette Carner. She is survived by three children: Charlene (Nelson) Mower of Atlanta, James Ramsey of Poseyville, Tamara Ramsey of Albuquerque N.M.; a

beloved daughter-in-law, Jerri Ramsey of Poseyville; sister, Odessa (Tom) Straw; brothers, Gordon Simmons and Edgar Allen (Gloria) Simmons; grandchildren, Brandi (Brian) Ireland of Fort Collins Co., Lawrence Mower III of Tallahassee Fla., Pete Mower of Atlanta, Sarah Mower of Los Angeles, Gabrielle Ramsey and Matthew Ramsey, both of Poseyville; one great-granddaughter, Raven McGann of Fort Collins Co.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A special thank you to the staff of Premier Healthcare of New Harmony, and especially to her nurses: Terri, Gail, and Destini. Thank you for your love, friendship and care.

Madeleine, nothing makes me feel older and dumber than trying to acquaint myself with new things. After several years of using a laptop, I realized I needed something more “user friendlyâ€? for an old lady with a bent little ďŹ nger. I spent a lot of time ďŹ xing errors. I mis-typed salary information that I sent to Sean, and other things that were important.

I knew that our expert cook/tech guru, Brandon, would be able to make this happen. Besides his skills in building me a complete new setup, he was able to assess exactly what was needed, and even more important, he is patient with explaining to an old lady.

JULY 16, 2019

Technology, Robots will never be able to sense when a compassionate hug is needed There is still a lot of organizing and explaining he will have to do, but the basics that I need for everyday use are working ďŹ ne. Going back to a “realâ€? keyboard has restored my fast typing skills.

I could have gone to a store and just purchased a new set-up, but I know I would have never ďŹ gured it out. Folks born in the last few decades take computers for granted. I have written many times about all the changes in my lifetime. It is hard for young folks to imagine all of the new things our older brains have had to absorb.

I wish I could take these youngsters back to my world to give them a frame of reference. I have traveled from a big wooden box on the wall, with a crank on the side, to unbelievable I Phones and beyond. I typed my high school papers on a big heavy typewriter, complete with white-out and carbon paper.

I am sure that all of the tech folks of today would have very little patience if they had to adjust to mid-century technology. From cars to phones to even simple things like can openers, things are all dierent.

One of the most frustrating things is not understanding today’s language pertaining to the wondrous items that everyone uses. I always wonder how people learn to judge purchases by the description.

I hear a lot of people from my generation proudly say how they have no interest in new phones, computers, and so on. Most are actually expressing disdain for things they cannot understand nor use. I totally get that.

Nothing makes me more insane than trying for hours to make something work.

Let’s pretend that you need to have an appendix operation, and the doctor hands you a scalpel and says, “it

is easy; you can do it.� That is an extreme example, but I frequently feel this type of angst.

Beyond learning about all the devices, once one kind of understands, you are notiďŹ ed of an “upgrade.â€? This is an evil plot to kill o folks like me.

Yes, there are places you can call for technical help, but I always feel “talked down� to.

I never doubted my ability to learn until this new age of every-day marvels came along. I was salutatorian of my class, and aced the so-called IQ tests of my day. Give me almost any subject, and I can quickly write a thousand words about it.

Working with photos is at the top of the list of my problems. I can do simple things, but then something changes, and I am in the weeds.

Living in an area with ridiculously bad internet provider service just compounds everything. Anyone in my age

group could never have dreamed of all the technology that would exist in our lifetime. It would sound like something from a science ďŹ ction movie.

When my grandchildren reach senior citizen status, they will have witnessed so many changes that they may, also, feel some disbelief. However, they won’t have had so far to travel. I don’t believe any other generation will ever see their world go from the 40s until now.

Bottom line, I have to just keep trying to learn as much as I can, and use it all to make life work. It is comforting to realize that the most important things remain the same. I know a lot of folks who enrich my life and have good attitudes. Having basic values and caring about the needs of others won’t vary; Even if robots do a lot of our work in the future, they won’t ever be able to sense when we need a compassionate hug.

Red Cross - BLOOD EMERGENCY Following a diďŹƒcult Fourth of July week for blood and platelet donations and ongoing challenges ďŹ nding new blood donors, the American Red Cross now faces a blood shortage and has issued an emergency call for eligible individuals of all blood types to give now and prevent delays in medical care.

About 450 fewer blood drives were organized by businesses and other community groups last week than during a typical week as people across the country celebrated the holiday with activities and travel.

This led to about 17,000 fewer blood donations than needed for patients in a single week, causing the Red Cross to now have less than a three-day supply of most blood types available – and less than a two-day supply of type O blood – for patients. At least a ďŹ ve-day supply is desired.

Missing Types sees encouraging response, but all

donors needed now In June, the Red Cross launched the Missing Types campaign to encourage donors – especially new donors and those who have not donated in the past years – to give blood or platelets during the challenging summer months.

Through the campaign, the letters A, B and O – letters that make up the main blood groups – disappeared from popular brands to symbolize what happens when blood goes missing from hospital shelves during blood shortages.

Despite an encouraging response to the campaign, blood donations still fell short of expectations in June, resulting in more than 24,000 fewer donations than needed, and causing a signiďŹ cant draw down of the Red Cross blood supply. “Blood is only available when generous blood and platelet donors roll up a sleeve to give, and right now, all do-

nors – especially those who have never given or haven’t given in a while – are urged to make an appointment to give today,� Numark added.

How to help Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to make an appointment to donate using the Blood Donor App, at RedCrossBlood. org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate.

Those interested in hosting a blood drive can learn more and sign up to sponsor a drive this summer by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.

Although Harrison served only one term as president, he had some impressive achievements during his four years in the White House. Harrison’s administration worked to preserve millions of acres of national forests, fought on behalf of African American voting rights, modernized the U.S. Navy, began the push to restrain large business trusts, and strengthened American trade with other countries in the Western Hemisphere.

Dobbs delivers spot-on portrayal of Patsy Cline, captivates audience

By Lois Mittino Gray What’s your favorite Patsy Cline song? Chances are you will hear a fantastic rendition of it sung live, since 27 songs make up the musical “Always…Patsy Cline”, the current offering of New Harmony Theatre this weekend. I loved the show when NHT did it for the first time years ago and much to my surprise, I loved it even more this time around.

The secret to the show’s success is the cast, made up of only two characters, acted by a pair of women dynamos who made the audience laugh, cry, think, and swoon to the songs. The musical, written by Ted Swindley, is more than just a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963. It is a true story of a special friendship that began as fan worship and grew into a mutual respect between two women.

The musical biography in two acts begins in 1957 with Louise Seger blown away when she first hears Patsy Cline singing on the “Arthur Godfrey Show” on television. “She stopped me in my tracks,” she proclaimed. Seger becomes an avid fan of the rising country and western singer and constantly hounds the local disc jockey to play Cline’s records, both sides, on the radio every hour.

One day in 1961, the DJ tells her Patsy Cline is coming to town that night at a local Houston honky tonk, the Esquire Ballroom. Louise, with her boss and boyfriend in tow, excitedly arrives about an hour-and-a-half early for a show to make sure she gets a table. She meets her hero who shows up travelling alone. Cline joins them at the table, swigging down some beer, and singing warmup songs with the juke box.

The two women strike up a friendship that night and Louise even helps her by keeping the drummer from rushing her songs.

The concert is wonderful and the ladies end up at Louise’s place frying up bacon and eggs, drinking coffee, and talking about their lives until the wee hours of the morning. Afterwards, the pair continued a correspondence until Cline’s untimely death.

The relationship matured into the kind of relationship that many fans would love to have with their heroes. The show’s title comes from the letters, which were consistently signed “Love, Always… Patsy Cline.”

I-64 Repaving Scheduled in PC The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a paving project for I-64 In Posey County.

Beginning on or around Tuesday, July 23, contractors will begin restricting I-64 from the Illinois State Line to the Poseyville exit. During this operations crews will mill and repave the 12 mile section of interstate. Lane closures will be up to the discretion of the contractor, but one 16-foot lane will remain open in either direction at all times.

Restrictions will be in place around the clock. Work

is expected to last until the beginning of November depending upon weather conditions. INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.

Stay Informed Motorists can learn about highway work zones and other traffic alerts at indot. carsprogram.org, 1-800-261ROAD (7623) or 511 from a mobile phone.

Lianne Marie Dobbs is Patsy Cline. She sings her heart out in every song, completely filling the stage and captivating the audience. She smiles, she struts, she sashays, she stomps, and she mesmerizes. I could not believe her voice never faltered and stayed so strong through 27 songs. My husband was a little put off with her sequiny, glamorous look and stylish clothes at the beginning. He remembered her with the cowgirl fringed look and white cowboy boots she does wear in one song, representing her early years. They were old fashioned outfits sewn by Cline’s mother. But he soon was won over by how terrific Dobbs is in the role.

New Harmony Theatre veteran Laurie Dawn, in the role of Louise Seger, supplied the show’s comic relief and heart. She provides the continuing narrative to tell the story, while Cline floats in and out of the set singing tunes that made her famous. You’ll hear Walkin’ After Midnight, I Fall To Pieces, She’s Got You, Sweet Dreams, and Crazy to name a few.

Laurie Dawn is fabulous as the big-redhaired, fast talking, rear end wiggling, smiling through the pain “girlfriend.” Her impression of driving her car called the “Sexy Dude” and tooling around town is an absolute hoot. She involves the audience in the chit-chat and even dances at the honky tonk with an audience member.

After one moving song, a wowed audience member shouted out from the back to Patsy on stage, “You Go, Girl!” And that she did, going all night long. It was plain to see what she meant to her older fans, while giving the new generation an idea of what seeing her was like back then.

The songs were accompanied by the six man “Bodacious Bobcats Band,” consisting of two guitars, piano, bass, drums and a fiddle player. They had a few funny lines they said in unison.

They were under the direction of Patrick Ritsch, who was Joe Bob, on the piano.

“Always…Patsy Cline” is directed by Eric Altheide, New Harmony’s associate resident director. USI faculty members were Paul Weimer as the scenic designer, Maya Michele Fein as the lighting designer, and Shan Jensen as the costume designer.

USI staff member Kevin Gray was sound designer and stage management was done by Margaret Kayes.

Muscadine Bloodline to headline Posey County 4-H Fair

By Lois Mittino Gray Thursday night, July 18 will set toes a tappin’ with a variety of music styles at the Posey County Fair. Concerts will feature headliners Muscadine Bloodline, and local favorites Tailgate Revival Acoustic, and Schelhorn Brothers, featuring Katie (Beste) York.

Muscadine Bloodline, described as a new force making major waves in country music, are proud natives of Mobile, Alabama. Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster started the group in 2016 and their sound “intertwines the brash irreverence of early southern rockers with the seductive quality of 90s country love songs. Charlie’s contemporary vocals, complimented by Gary’s harmonies and masterful guitar licks, make MB a powerfully refreshing mix of talent, passion and unfiltered authenticity. The duo’s reputation for high-energy live experiences has resulted in a schedule full of shows spanning from coast to coast,” according to their website biography.

“This is the most circulated band we have hosted to date. They are hugely popular on streaming sites, like Spotify,” remarked Jake McGennis, Posey County Fair Board President. “They do strong Southern rock and country ballads, with a little rap thrown in, too. It is a really cool sound.”

This is the third year the fair has hosted these big name concerts. McGennis described the selection process as a lengthy one that takes him about four months. “I make contact with multiple talent agencies out

there to find out what is available within our budget guidelines.

I listen to all of the possibilities and take several suggestions to the local Fair Board at meetings. After we agree, I put in an offer and we work on the contract. MB is a good fit for our demographics,” he observed. “Other bands who have appeared here in concert said they loved our down to earth laid-back county fair setting and the people who seemed to enjoy it so much.”

Muscadine Bloodline has two Billboard charting critically acclaimed EP’s under their belt, with hit songs with captivating hooks like “Movin’ On,” “Porch Swing Angel,” “Crickets and Cane Poles” and the aggressively anthemic “WD-40.” The duo sings that duct tape, WD-40 and love are all you really need to fix anything.

While the guys are strong believers in the power of these two most universal handyman tools, Muncaster said he’s had more than a few slip-ups with duct tape and WD-40. The singer once tried to fix a leak in his car’s ra-

diator hose with duct tape, only to find himself stranded just a few miles down the road when all the anti-freeze leaked out.

The lyricist admits his 10-yearold self put way too much confidence in WD-40. “I would turn my bike upside down and I would just spray WD-40 all over the bike chains I mean, just way too much WD-40,” Muncaster says, as Stanton laughs in the background. “I would just be spinning the tires, spraying it, and it would just be flinging it in the air because I was using so much. I don’t know if that really fixed anything, but I thought it was a good idea when I was 10.”

Besides their creative lyrics and impeccably polished harmonies, Muncaster and Stanton have a chemistry that’s obvious whether they’re in the middle of an interview or performing onstage, according to The Bone country music website.

To listen to “WD40” and other songs, go to YouTube or the website www.muscadinebloodline.com. Their music is currently available on iTunes, and they have a Face-

book page with a photo gallery.

“We’re always looking forward to seeing new fans,” Muncaster says. “We realize that’s the driving force in this whole thing.

If you don’t have fans, you don’t have anything, so we’re just excited to make new fans and get in front of them and just make good music that we love and we hope everyone else loves. We hope we can stay true to ourselves and meet as many fans as possible.”

Muscadine Bloodline will perform on the outdoor stage at the fairgrounds. If it’s raining, the concert will be moved indoors to the community center. The concert is slated to begin at 8:30 p.m. with the opening act Tailgate Revival Acoustic to appear on the outdoor stage at 7:30 p.m. McGennis said TRA is the local country band that sold out the February fair fundraiser, called the Poco Throwdown. He suggests bringing lawn chairs and insect repellent to the outdoor concert. Food vendors will be onsite.

The Schelhorn Brothers with Katie York are scheduled to perform in the air-conditioned community center from 5 to 7 p.m.

Dinner will be available during that time served by the Posey County Extension Homemakers.

All events are free of charge with a paid gate admission to the fair. The gate fee is $6 per person or $25 for a season pass. Children ten and under are admitted free. Many other events are scheduled for fair week including the Truck Tug-O-War, Mud Volleyball, and the Demolition Derby. For more information, go to www.poseycountyfair.com.

MV FCCLA attends Nationals

By Thomas Butler The Mount Vernon chapter of FCCLA attended the national conference in Anaheim California the first week in July.

Each student successfully completed the Franklin Covey Leadership Academy receiving a special certificate of achievement.

Kelcey Ricketts, Nathan Duffey, Jessica Lunceford and Whitney Young worked as conference volunteers. Abbie Dickinson and Destiny Morgan presented their STAR Project, earning a silver medal.

“The whole trip was an amazing lifetime experience,” Kelcey Ricketts said.

The students had several fundraisers to help them with travel expenses and regis-

tration costs to make the trip to California possible. While at the conference, they attended informational workshops and leadership Academy. As a chapter, Mount Vernon had a total of 40 volunteer hours during their stay.

“Attending this has personally made me realize that our community needs to be more aware of what FCCLA is. We aren’t just a culinary based organization. We are so much more than that. We are a student led organization seeking to help impact the community, school and students with the help of individual or group projects, and become better leaders within ourselves and our community,” Ricketts said.

Counterfeit five dollar bill passed in Poseyville

By Dave Pearce A special meeting of the Poseyville Town Council was scheduled for July 24 during this week’s meeting of the Council. The purpose of that meeting will be to award the contract for extending city sewer to the old Lucent Polymers building just north of town. During that meeting, the council will also enter into an agreement with Nix Companies. The town and Nix Companies reached a fair compromise and are partnering in the expenses of the extension.

Councilmember Ronald Fallowfield informed the Council that retired Indiana State Policeman and Poseyville resident Frank Smith has donated the wood-carved Viking statue, that once stood in his yard, to the town. He said that once the updates to the park by the police station had been completed, and some minor damage to the statue had been done, the statue would be erected in the park.

Fallowfield further indicated that rubber mulch had been received for the park, along with the frame for the swings. The mulch will be applied following some maintenance work to the park, which may cause the park to be closed for a day or so. He said that fencing around the backside of the park is being looked into. The possibility also exists of a Boy Scout Eagle helping with the park as a project.

In other business: • For traffic safety and for the protection of the Town’s sewer drains, the utility office requests that grass clippings and other debris not be blown into the streets.

• Clerk/Treasurer Julie Mayo indicated that Town Marshal Charles Carter had been conducting an investigation into counterfeit five dollar bills, as one had been discovered by a local merchant.

• The utility department has been flushing hydrants this week; but they have had to stagger the process in order to prevent a serious decrease in water pressure within the Town’s system.

• Council President Bruce Baker indicated that J.H. Rudolph, the contractor for the Town’s street paving, has been advised that the milling and paving on Church Street (from Main Street to Fletchall Street) and Fletchall Street (from Walker Street to Sharp Street) needs to be completed before Autumnfest weekend.

Baker also said that the school bus turns in the Sunrise Addition of Poseyville are in the process of being widened. The turns will be filled and permitted to pack down before paving is completed.

• Clerk/Treasurer Julie Mayo presented a gas tracker for the months of June, July and August with a negative factor (-0.0637).

Upon motion duly made and seconded, the gas tracker was approved by the Council.

• A Resolution establishing a town election board, as usual, establishing that the Town of Poseyville will conduct a town election was discussed. Attorney William Bender explained that this was nothing new; that such a resolution must be passed prior to each town election. Upon motion duly made, the said Resolution 2019-07-10-01 was adopted by the Council.

• There was a discussion regarding foot traffic to the new Dollar General Store. Fallowfield indicated that it appeared to have slowed down on the highway, as individuals are cutting through back yards to get to the store.

The next regular monthly meeting of the Poseyville Town Council for 2019 will be held Wednesday, August 14, 2019, at 4:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Town Hall, 38 West Main Street, Poseyville, Indiana.

David Killion of Mobile Ed Productions Inc., came down from Redford, Michigan to present two programs in the Inflatable Sky Dome Wednesday afternoon as part of the Alexandrian Public Library’s Summer Reading Program. He is shown starting to inflate the giant ballonlike theater which, due to its size, had to be set up in the old Hedges Central gymnasium. About 120 participants total crawled through the dome’s entrance tunnel to see the show on the constellations and planets in keeping with the summer universe reading theme.

National Night Out set for August 6

By Dave Pearce The Cynthiana Town Council met on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. and once again faced questions regarding repairing the water flow and the lawn of Cynthiana resident Charles Chappell.

Although Chappell has appeared several times before the board, he was told that the situation would be rectified just as soon as the weather dries up enough to let town employees catch up with other necessary work and begin working on his property.

Chappell told the board that improvements have not been made, according to the homeowner. In earlier meetings, he reported that his lawn mower has become stuck in holes in the back yard of his home and that smaller holes are springing up all over the yard.

Town manager Ken Corbet told those in attendance that work had begun once but that wet weather made it impossible to improve the situation without making hug ruts in the yard,

which, in turn, would have to be repaired. Board members Todd Kennedy and Patti Wilson were in agreement that Corbett is in charge of taking care of the town’s equipment and managing safety risks. Chappell was instructed that repairs will be made once it dries up enough.

The council agreed to put the matter on the August agenda to remind the board to check on the status of improvements.

A Resolution was also made establishing a town election board, resolving that the Town of Cynthiana will conduct a town election. Such a resolution must be passed prior to each town election. Upon motion duly made, the said Resolution 2019-07-10-01 was adopted by the Council.

During the meeting, the board reminded Cynthiana residents that National Night Out will be held again this year in Cynthiana. It will be held, with organizational help from Posey County

Sheriff Tom Latham, on Tuesday, August 6, from 6 until 8 p.m. New attractions this year will include more water slides for children five and under.

Members of the board expressed concern regarding the upcoming Census. If not all residents are duly counted, it will hamper the amount of tax money received by the town. A person, or persons, are still being sought to help serve on the census board.

Members of the council also explained that a position has opened for a cleaner for the town. This individual would clean the town hall and would also clean up after events at the community center. Individuals may apply at the Cynthiana Town Hall.

Finally, another town council member to replace Carolyn Price will soon be selected. A swearing-in ceremony Jim and Pam Robinson celebrated their 30th Wedding is expected before the next regularly Anniversary on Sunday, July 14, 2019 with a surprise lunscheduled meeting. The next meeting cheon organized by their daughter Jessica. Family and has been set for Wednesday, August 14 friends either attended or sent video congratulations. at 6 p.m. at the Cynthiana Town Hall.

‘Golden Years’ continued from Page A1

‘Nix’ continued from Page A1 recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work in Indiana” as well as Inc5000’s “Fastest Growing Private Companies” in the United States.

Matthew Nix, President of Nix Companies, offered the following statement about the acquisition: “I am very excited and optimistic about the opportunities and benefits that this partnership brings to our core business. The machining and gear manufacturing services offered by Heritage are new additions to our product and service offerings. These are complementary to our existing services and will add immediate value to our current customers. Additionally, this allows us to control every segment

of the metal manufacturing process within our company. Their fabrication capabilities are similar to our existing services but will increase our crane capacity from 20 tons to 30 tons, while also doubling our production space. The Heritage customer base will also provide additional diversity to our existing customer industry segments due to their focus on repairs and maintenance projects. We look forward to offering our full line of products and services to the Heritage customer base.”

For more information about these groups, you can visit their respective websites. Heritage – www.hcfgears.com; Nix – www. nixcompanies.com.

‘Voting’ continued from Page A1 would institute a $50 booking fee for anyone convicted of a crime in the county, not just arrested. The fee would offset the costs of jail equipment and training for employees.

The Sheriff requested an additional appropriation of $3133.08 from the LIT Fund for oil and lubricants. The money was collected from an existing insurance claim.

• Posey County Treasurer Vicki Peerman gave the Spring 2019 tax settlement figures. A total of $23,160,372.05 was collected for the county. Of this amount, $20,161,255.61 comes from tax on real estate: business and personal property. The remainder mostly comes in from Bureau of Motor Vehicles fees for license renewals on cars, aircraft and watercraft. The Ditch Tax brought in $260,166. “This is actually a very small part of our total budget, but I get a lot of complaints about it. It is only collected from personal property owners one time every spring,” she explained.

• Commissioners voted to pass as presented on first reading and publish the County Fee Ordinance which will put all fees in one legal location. The ordinance will

In attendance at the concert were Johnathon’s parents, Angie and Jason Webber and grandparents, Charlie and Goldie Thomas. They often go to listen to Johnathon regularly play with about six-eight of his friends at Monday night jam sessions at the Owen Community Center in town.

In the final song of the concert, Lexton sang the beautifully haunting bluegrass song, “Pearl” made famous by the group Cedar Hill. It is a tearjerker about a man and his faithful hunting dog named Pearl, whose barks at night while hunting are music to his dad’s ears. The line “Sing a song for me. Throw your voice to the wind. That music makes me shiver to the bone” holds true for the whole concert. It was bone-shivering.

• Carrie Thompson, Posey County E911, requested a reimbursement of $366.95 from the County General Fund to be put into the Contract Payment line to pay a new bill.

The routine matter was approved.

• Posey County Prosecutor Thomas Clowers requested an additional appropriation of $1,000 from the IV-D Incentive Fund for travel expenses for training of new child support staff members. This does not cost the county anything, as the expenses are reimbursed from federal funds. He also asked for an additional appropriation of $1197.51 from the Prosecutor’s Infraction Deferral Fund into PERF to cover the county’s portion of the PERF for the bonus (2019 Salary) given to his department. This also will not cost county taxpayers. Both requests were approved.

In a final request, Clowers asked for an additional appropriation of $3,000 from the Prosecutor’s Federal Forfeiture Fund for purchasing new computer equipment for his use and that of his Chief

subject yet, but he did say that these centers are not a new thing and have been around for several years, especially in heavily-populated areas.

In other council business: • The Posey County Jail continues to generate income from housing other counties overflow inmates. Posey County Sheriff Tom Latham reported he billed $48,055 to Vanderburgh County, $11,270 to Sullivan County, and $9,415 to the Indiana Department of Corrections for last month’s housing. He takes in approximately $2,450 a day based on an average of 70 inmates. As of July 1, the per diem rate per inmate is $37.50 daily, with it going up to $40 a day in January. “As of this morning, we have 120 inmates at the jail. 52 are from Vanderburgh County, eight from Sullivan County and 10 from the IDOC. Sheriff Bottoms of Gibson County has contacted me about housing some inmates for them, too. I have sent all the new contracts out to all of them.”

Deputy. “This money will come from the $96,981.50 we seized from a drug dealer a few years ago. He’s in federal prison now, so I don’t think he will mind. Just think, money from a drug dealer will be used to help me do my job,” he said with a satisfied smile.

month in, say, food and nutrition. These lessons are provided, she says, every other month now with the advent of the Indiana Extension Homemakers Association, or IEHA, website (www. ieha-families.org). The website offers a host of free lessons in several categories, accessible to anyone, not just extension homemakers, at any time.

Of course, nothing can replace one-on-one club interaction, for, as Russell points out, everyone prefers learning with the help of a person nearby. As always, club education continues to please with its individual attention and group dynamics. Members learn together and enjoy sharing ideas, techniques, and laughs.

Extension Homemakers means to elevate the home, Russell emphasizes, whatever home looks like for each family. Although in the past women dominated Extension Homemakers, clubs welcome men now also. Single dads or stay-at-home dads or any dad, for that matter, can learn from the educational categories how to enhance the home for his family. Extension Homemakers is open to everyone.

Anyone interested in joining a Posey County Extension Homemakers club may call the Purdue Extension office at (812)838-1331 for information and meeting times. Or say hello to an extension homemaker at dinner tonight or tomorrow-night from 5-7 p.m. or at lunch Friday noon. One price buys a country comfort meal, including pie and drink.

North Posey golf team members honored in banquet

By Chris Morlan The North Posey Boys Golf banquet was held last Monday night at the Red Wagon in Poseyville. Team members and their families enjoyed a meal prior to the awards ceremony. Thirteen boys were recognized this season for their accomplishments. Prior to presenting the awards, Coach Wassmer spoke about the boys’ team and said, “this was a good bunch of young men. Several were always looking to better themselves in the offseason. I’m looking to have some of the new guys step up to fill Caleb’s (Wassmer) spot next year.”

During the Pocket Athletic Conference meet in Santa Claus, the Vikings placed second as a team. Caleb Wassmer won the overall match as a medalist for the second season in a row.

Wassmer will continue his golf career at the University of Evansville. Coach Was-

smer said, “great accomplishment for Caleb to be able to play at the next level which shows determination, practice and skill.”

In the IHSAA sectional, the Vikings finished sixth as a team.

By Chris Morlan On Saturday, the South Gibson 15U All-Star team played in the Southern Indiana Babe Ruth League Tournament at McCutchanville. There were supposed to be three teams playing at the tournament, but Connersville backed out of the postseason play.

(Game 2) South Gibson 12, McCutchanville 2: These two teams met shortly after the first game for game two of this series. South Gibson continued to overpower McCutchanville and won by ten runs in a six-inning game to punch their ticket

to the Ohio Valley Regional Tournament in two weeks. There were runs scored by South Gibson in the first, second, third and a five-run sixth inning to win the game. Jake Will was on the mound for South Gibson and pitched five innings with allowing two earned runs in a great outing.

First responders included in mental health summit Military service members, first responders and their families have unique mental health needs. Health care professionals and caregivers in our community are invited to engage in active dialogue on how to best address these needs during the 2019 Mental Health Summit at the University of Southern Indiana, held from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23, in University Center West.

“The Mental Health Summit is an annual event that in the past has solely focused on the care of active duty service members and veterans,” said Joel Matherly, manager of the Veteran, Military & Family Resource Center at USI. Guest speakers will include representatives from Help for Heroes, a national program designed to meet the recovery needs of military service members and first responders dealing with mental health and substance abuse issues brought on by on-duty challenges including combat stress; repeated exposure to traumatic events; grief and loss; and family separation. Help for Heroes speakers will address treatment of ac-

tive duty service members, veterans and first responders who have experienced complex trauma and PTSD. There will be additional peer-to-peer presentations with a focus on self-care for mental health professionals. Topics include the challenges of losing a client to suicide, the impact of loss on professional practice, and vicarious trauma and resiliency.

Jason Murrey, a Marine veteran and Statewide Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the State of Indiana, will speak on “Self-Care and Impact of Secondary Trauma.” His copresenter, Steve Hoffman, will offer a first responder point of view for managing secondary traumatic stress.

The cost for mental health professionals and providers to attend the 2019 Mental Health Summit is $25, which includes breakfast, lunch and an opportunity to earn continuing education hours.

Legals 2019-131 NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SALE Posey County Indiana Beginning 10:00 AM, 9/05/2019 Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room Local Time Posey County Pursuant to the laws of the Indiana General Assembly, notice is hereby given that the following described property is listed for sale for delinquent taxes and/or special assessments. The county auditor and county treasurer will apply on or after 8/19/2019 for a court judgment against the tracts or real property for an amount that is not less than the amount set out below and for an order to sell the tracts or real property at public auction to the highest bidder, subject to the right of redemption. Any defense to the application for judgment must be filed with the Posey County Circuit Court and served on the county auditor and treasurer before 8/19/2019. The court will set a date for a hearing at least seven (7) days before the advertised date of sale and the court will determine any defenses to the application for judgment at the hearing. The county auditor and the county treasurer are entitled to receive all pleadings, motions, petitions, and other filings related to the defense to the application for judgment.

Such sale will be held on 9/05/2019 at the Hovey House, Commissioners’ Room and that sale will continue until all tracts and real property have been offered for sale.

Property will not be sold for an amount which is less than the sum of: (A) the delinquent taxes and special assessments on each tract or item of real property; and (B) the taxes and special assessments on the real property that are due and payable in the year of the sale, whether or not they are delinquent; and (C) all penalties due on the delinquencies, and (D) an amount prescribed by the county auditor that equals the sum of: (1) twenty-five dollars ($25) for postage and publication costs; and (2) any other costs incurred by the county that are directly attributable to the tax sale; and (E) any unpaid costs due under IC 6-1.1-24-2(c) from a prior tax sale.

No property listed below shall be sold if, at any time before the sale, the Total Amount for Judgment is paid in full.

If the real property is sold in the tax sale, the amount required to redeem such property will be 110% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, if redeemed not more than six (6) months after the date of sale, or 115% of the minimum bid for which the tract or real property was offered at the time of sale, if redeemed more than six (6) months after the date of sale, plus the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the real property plus five percent (5%) per annum interest on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the minimum bid on the property. All taxes and special assessments upon the property paid by the purchaser subsequent to the sale, plus five percent (5%) per annum interest on those taxes and special assessments, will also be required to be paid to redeem such property.

In addition, IC 6-1.1-25-2 (e) states the total amount required for redemption may include the following costs incurred and paid by the purchaser or the purchaser’s assignee or the county before redemption: (1) The attorney’s fees and cost of giving notice under IC 6-1.1-25-4.5; (2) The costs of title search or examining and update the abstract of title for the tract or item of real property. The period of redemption shall expire on Tuesday, September 08, 2020 for certificates sold in the tax sale. For certificates struck to the county, the period of redemption may expire Friday, January 03, 2020.

If the tract or item of real property is sold for an amount more than the minimum bid and the property is not redeemed, the owner of record of the property who is divested of ownership at the time the tax deed is issued may have a right to the tax sale surplus.

The Auditor and Treasurer specifically reserve the right to withhold from the sale any parcel which has been listed in error, or which otherwise becomes ineligible for sale either prior to 9/05/2019 or during the duration of the sale.

This notice of real property tax sale, and the tax sale itself are undertaken and will be conducted pursuant to the requirements of the laws of the State of Indiana which regulate the sale of land for delinquent taxes, pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-24-1 et seq.

The County does not warrant the accuracy of the street address or common description of the property, and a misstatement in the key number or street address does not invalidate an otherwise valid sale.

Minimum bid amounts are prescribed by law and are subject to change prior to the auction date.

Pursuant to IC 6-1.1-24-3(e), property descriptions may be omitted for properties appearing on the certified list in consecutive years. A complete property list may be obtained at www.sriservices.com or in an alternative form upon request.

USDA Extends Deadline to Report Spring-Seeded Crops The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is extending the deadline to file crop acreage reports for agricultural producers in Indiana impacted by flooding and heavy moisture.

The new July 22 deadline applies to reporting spring-seeded crops to USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) county offices and federal crop insurance agents. “Agriculture operations throughout the state have been hit hard by heavy rains and flooding that have affected their operations,� said Steven Brown, FSA State Executive Director in Indiana. “The deadline extension provides more flexibility for producers who experienced planting and field work delays.�

Filing a timely crop acreage report is important to maintaining eligibility for USDA conservation, disaster assistance, safety net, crop insurance and farm loan programs. A crop acreage report documents all crops and their intended uses and is an important part of recordkeeping for your farm or ranch.

Producers filing reports with FSA county offices are encouraged to set up an appointment before visiting the office. Acreage reports from producers in Indiana who set up appointments before the July 22 deadline are considered timely filed, even if the appointment occurs after the deadline.

The following exceptions apply to acreage reporting:

• If the crop has not been planted by the reporting date, the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed. • If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage reporting date, the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after purchasing or acquiring the lease. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the county office. “Even though the deadline has been extended, I encourage producers to contact their local FSA office today to schedule an appointment to report acreage,â€? Brown said.

Other USDA Efforts to Help Producers USDA is taking additional steps to help producers across the country, including: • Updating the haying and grazing date for producers who have planted cover crops on prevented plant acres; • Offering special sign-ups through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program for assistance to plant cover crops; and • Extending the deadline to report prevented plant acres in certain places.

For more information, visit our Prevented or Delayed Planting webpage.

To learn more, contact your FSA county office or visit fsa.usda.gov or farmers.gov/prevented-planting.

Haggard brothers achieve Eagle Scout rank as a pair

By Lois Mittino Gray New Harmony is home to another gaga, but she is no Lady.

New Harmony’s Murphy Park is home to a “Gaga” pit, thanks to an Eagle Scout project completed by Kainan Haggard. His older brother, Nik, installed an American flag pole at the motocross racetrack at the Posey County Fair Grounds for his Eagle Scout Project. Both scouts are members of Troop 386, under the leadership of Tim and Todd Wiley, and have enjoyed all of the activities, especially camping trips to faraway places and Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.

Parents of the pair are Joey and Nikii Haggard of New Harmony.

Both boys are graduates of North Posey High School and had to complete their path down the Eagle Trail doing requirements before turning 18 years of age. Now, the young men are walking new career paths. Kainan will be reporting for army military duty on August 4 to Fort Jackson in South Carolina.

Nik works long days as a full time welder for HMC in Princeton, fabricating parts and handling gears, all at 400 degree temperatures.

Kainan got the idea to construct the gaga ball pit from one of his summer camp experiences. “I

played the game there and really enjoyed it. I thought it would be fun to put one up in my home town. I looked on the Internet and found designs and plans and tweaked them to my present design. I cut the shape of the door into it a little differently and then the rest of the troop and adult volunteers helped me build it over several days,” he explained.

Players need to bring their own ball, like a kickball, to play. The game’s rules are etched into a sign on the side of the structure. Basically, all players start by standing against the inner walls. One player throws the ball into the center and it must bounce three times before players can run all around the playing pit. Players try to hit each other at the knees of below, using a balled fist. The ball may not be caught or thrown, just batted about. If a player is hit correctly or if a player hits the ball out of the court, it results in being out of the game. A player cannot touch the ball twice in a row.

The American Legion in New Harmony donated money to Kainan’s project. He purchased the treated lumber, red wood chip mulch that covers the bottom of the pit, and signage with the funds. J and J Welding of Mount Vernon donated the steel used to join the lumber On Sunday afternoon, Kaitlyn Oakley pauses for a photo while carrying-in her 4-H Fair cake project.

Visit www. poseycountyfair.com for a list of events.

The fair concludes Saturday night with the annual Demolition Derby beginning at 7 p.m.

Photo by Lois Mittino Gray his Eagle Scout Project. Photo by Lois Mittino Gray panels in an octagon shape. Wiley Farms donated use of their shop and equipment to put things together before heading out to the park.

Kainan, who loved his scout trips to Alaska, Bahamas Base Camp, and Philmont, reflected on his time in scouting and said the main thing he feels he learned is, “Don’t let any obstacle get in your way.”

Nik, who attended scout camps in cold temperatures in Ely, Minnesota and summer in Philmont; attributes his strong work ethic to his scouting experience. “If I say

I’m going to do something, I will do it and keep my word. In general, I try to help people out as much as I can,” he said.

Helping out is what inspired the idea for Nik’s project. “I was driving by the fairgrounds one day right before the start of a motocross race.

They were playing the national anthem and the only thing there to salute was a little flag on a board. I contacted Jim Egan who was doing the races at the time and he and my troop leader thought it would be a good idea,” he remarked.

Addy and Eli McFadin check-in their projects for the annual 4-H Fair this week with Jack Zoch on Sunday afternoon.

The Fair Board approved it and the project was on. Nik purchased supplies and the concrete pad was poured and the pole put up. “The hardest part was digging through the old trench to an oil well full of size 53 rocks buried deep,” he described. “That was tough.”

The New Harmony American Legion also donated to Nik’s flagpole installation project. Additional donors were Chris Pharmacy, Wilson Auction, Wadesville VFW, Firehouse Antiques, and the Ackermans.
